Library Service
Projects
In- the operation of Library
Service Projects, tUe governing
objective shall be that of stimu
lating local reception of a more
complete and permanent library
service as a regular public func
tion. Library Service Units may
be established and maintained on
ly in communities where organ
ized community demand occurs,
where reasonable and regular fi
nancial support is assured, taking
into consideration local economic
conditions, and where use of pro
ject facilities justifies the expen
diture involved.
Books, other than textbdoks.
may be maintained in serviceable
condition by repair operations not
involving the removal of the cov
ers.
At the present time Franklin
County has eleven school library
units and two public reading
rooms operating in various parts
of the county. Most of the school
units are kept open to the public
as reading rifoins for the summer
months.
Franklin County was very for
tunate in having the use of a
WPA owned bookmobile for three
months during the past year. This
bookmobile served the schools,
womens clubs and other social
centers in different parts of the
county. During the three months
of service 20,025 books were cir
culated to persons who otherwise
might not have had the chance to
read the newest books.
The following letter is very ap
preciative:
Louisburg, N. C.,
May 22, 1940.
Duriug the past two school
years or more the WPA organi
zation has rendered very valuable
service to the schools through li
brary, cafeteria and matrou work
ers. These people have done work
In our schools for which no pro
vision is made in the State school
program and service for which no
funds have hitherto been appro
priated. So far as I have been
able to observe, principals, teach
ers. pupils and patrons have been
pleased with the work done by
these workers, and we hope that
it may be continued during the
next school year.
In addition to the services ren
dered above, the WPA and NYA
have helped us construct four
buildings in the past eighteen
months, and we are getting ready
to begin another within a few
days.
Also, the NYA has furnished
valuable help in the office of the
Board of Education and in the of
fices of the principals of the sev
eral schools.
The Sewing room project has
furnished work for a number of
workers and they have made a
great many garments for under
priviledged children.
I heartily commend these pro
jects to the consideration of the
public, and hope that during this
week as many of our people as
can will visit one or more of these
projects.
